Preoperative risk factors for the early failure of the Kasai portoenterostomy in patients with biliary atresia

ConclusionDue to bad prognosis found in EF-K patients, we believe that it could be reasonable to offer them a primary LTx. PELD score was found to be the strongest preoperative parameter that allows predicting which patient will likely have an early failed KP. Further prospective and multicenter studies are needed to reinforce these results.
